Description

本発明は、トロミ剤組成物、特に嚥下障害者や高齢者が嚥下しやすいゲル状嚥下食の調製に適したトロミ剤組成物、及びこのトロミ剤組成物を用いたゲル状嚥下食に関する。   The present invention relates to a trolley composition, in particular, a trolley composition suitable for preparing a swallowing food that is easy to swallow by a dysphagic person or an elderly person, and a gel-like swallowing meal using the trolley composition.

摂食・嚥下とは食物を口に取り込み、咀嚼し、食塊形成を行い、奥舌へ送り込み、嚥下誘発後、0.5秒前後で嚥下反射し、食塊を食道に送り込む一連の行為である。
食塊が変形しながら咽頭をスムーズに通過するためには弱いゲル状態が最も良いとされている。非特許文献1によれば、一定の性質をもつ弱いゲルの条件は動的粘弾性測定から得られ、貯蔵弾性率G'=10〜100Pa及び損失正接tanδ=0.1〜1の値が嚥下食として適しているとされている。
このような弱いゲルの状態のゲル状嚥下食を手軽に得るため、液状食品にトロミ剤を混合することが行われている。例えば非特許文献1では、多糖類とキサンタンガムの混合物からなるトロミ剤が検討されている。
渡瀬峰男、「連載:嚥下障害者及び高齢者に向くゲル状嚥下食の開発に関する研究-11- ゲル形成能をもつ多糖類とキサンタンガム混合ゲルの動的粘弾性」、食品工業、2001年、Vol 44、No.5、P.82
Feeding and swallowing are a series of actions that take food into the mouth, chew, form a bolus, send it to the back tongue, induce swallowing, reflex swallowing in about 0.5 seconds, and send the bolus to the esophagus.
It is said that a weak gel state is best in order for the bolus to pass smoothly through the pharynx while deforming. According to Non-Patent Document 1, the condition of a weak gel having a certain property is obtained from dynamic viscoelasticity measurement, and the values of storage elastic modulus G ′ = 10 to 100 Pa and loss tangent tan δ = 0.1 to 1 are taken as swallowing food. It is said to be suitable.
In order to easily obtain such a gel-like swallowing meal in a weak gel state, mixing a trolley agent with a liquid food is performed. For example, Non-Patent Document 1 discusses a trotomy agent composed of a mixture of a polysaccharide and xanthan gum.
Minase Watase, “Series: Study on development of gel-like swallowing food for dysphagia and elderly people 11- Dynamic viscoelasticity of gel-forming polysaccharide and xanthan gum mixed gel”, Food Industry, 2001, Vol 44, No. 5, P. 82

食品の嚥下温度は、一般に10〜60℃の広い温度帯にわたる。そのため、このような広い温度範囲で、弱いゲル状態を達成できるトロミ剤が、嚥下障害者や高齢者によって望まれていた。
しかしながら、非特許文献1の多糖類とキサンタンガム混合ゲルを用いたトロミ剤を液状食品に混合しても、10〜60℃の広い温度帯で、貯蔵弾性率G'=10〜100Pa及び損失正接tanδ=0.1〜1を達成することはできなかった。
また、粉末のトロミ剤においては溶解時に溶け残り(ダマ)が出来やすいが、溶け残りのあるままの嚥下食を嚥下障害者に供した場合、ダマを含んだ食塊が咽頭をスムーズに通過出来ず誤嚥の原因となった。
Food swallowing temperatures generally span a wide temperature range of 10-60 ° C. Therefore, a trolley agent that can achieve a weak gel state in such a wide temperature range has been desired by dysphagia and elderly people.
However, even when the tromi agent using the polysaccharide and xanthan gum mixed gel of Non-Patent Document 1 is mixed with a liquid food, the storage elastic modulus G ′ = 10 to 100 Pa and the loss tangent tan δ in a wide temperature range of 10 to 60 ° C. = 0.1 to 1 could not be achieved.
In addition, powdered tromis can be easily dissolved (dama) at the time of dissolution, but if swallowed food with undissolved remains is used for dysphagia, the bolus containing dama can smoothly pass through the pharynx. Caused aspiration.

本発明は、上記事情に鑑みて、液状食品に混合することにより、10〜60℃の広い温度帯で、貯蔵弾性率G'=10〜100Pa及び損失正接tanδ=0.1〜1を達成することが可能であり、かつ、溶解時に溶け残り(ダマ)が生じにくいトロミ剤組成物を提供すること、及びこのようなトロミ剤組成物を用いることにより、嚥下障害者や高齢者が嚥下しやすいゲル状嚥下食を提供することを課題とする。   In view of the above circumstances, the present invention can achieve storage elastic modulus G ′ = 10 to 100 Pa and loss tangent tan δ = 0.1 to 1 in a wide temperature range of 10 to 60 ° C. by mixing with liquid food. It is possible to provide a trolley agent composition that is less likely to dissolve (dama) during dissolution, and by using such a trolley agent composition, a gel form that is easily swallowed by persons with dysphagia and the elderly The task is to provide a swallowing meal.

In addition, the gel-like swallowing meal of the present invention is easy for swallowing disabled people and elderly people to swallow.

<トロミ剤組成物>
本発明のトロミ剤組成物は、キサンタンガムとカルシウム塩とを含有する。さらに、カルシウムとキレート化合物を形成するキレート剤を含有することが好ましい。また、取り扱いの便宜のため、適宜賦形剤を加えることができる。
<Toromi agent composition>
The tromi agent composition of the present invention contains xanthan gum and a calcium salt. Furthermore, it is preferable to contain a chelating agent that forms a chelate compound with calcium. Moreover, an excipient | filler can be added suitably for the convenience of handling.

キサンタンガムとしては、通常の市販品が使用できる。
カルシウム塩としては、ダマを形成しないよう、水溶性のカルシウム塩が用いられる。水溶性カルシウム塩としては、乳酸カルシウム、塩化カルシウム等が使用できるが、特に乳酸カルシウムが好ましい。
キサンタンガムに水溶性カルシウム塩を併用することにより、キサンタンガムの使用量を減らしても必要な粘度が得られるトロミ剤とすることができる。また、10〜60℃の広い温度帯で、貯蔵弾性率G'=10〜100Pa及び損失正接tanδ=0.1〜1を達成することが可能となる。
キサンタンガム100質量部に対して、水溶性カルシウム塩はカルシウム換算で1〜4質量部であることが好ましい。
As the xanthan gum, ordinary commercial products can be used.
As the calcium salt, a water-soluble calcium salt is used so as not to form lumps. As the water-soluble calcium salt, calcium lactate, calcium chloride and the like can be used, and calcium lactate is particularly preferable.
By using a water-soluble calcium salt in combination with xanthan gum, it is possible to obtain a tromi agent capable of obtaining a necessary viscosity even if the amount of xanthan gum used is reduced. In addition, it is possible to achieve a storage elastic modulus G ′ = 10 to 100 Pa and a loss tangent tan δ = 0.1 to 1 in a wide temperature range of 10 to 60 ° C.
The water-soluble calcium salt is preferably 1 to 4 parts by mass in terms of calcium with respect to 100 parts by mass of xanthan gum.

カルシウムとキレート化合物を形成するキレート剤を併用することにより、タンニンを含有する緑茶等の液状食品に添加した際に、濁りが生じることを防止できる。キレート剤の使用量は、水溶性カルシウム塩の使用量に応じて適宜増減させることが好ましい。少なすぎると、濁り防止の効果が得られず、多すぎると、水溶性カルシウム塩使用による効果が損なわれ、また、粘度発現が遅れがちとなる。
Examples of the chelating agent that forms a chelate compound with calcium include citrate, phosphate, and metaphosphate, but citrate is preferred.
The citrate is preferably a water-soluble citrate so as not to form lumps. As the water-soluble citrate, sodium citrate, potassium citrate and the like can be used, and sodium citrate is particularly preferable.
When calcium and a chelating agent that forms a chelate compound are used in combination, turbidity can be prevented when added to a liquid food such as green tea containing tannin. The amount of the chelating agent used is preferably increased or decreased as appropriate according to the amount of water-soluble calcium salt used. If the amount is too small, the effect of preventing turbidity cannot be obtained. If the amount is too large, the effect of using the water-soluble calcium salt is impaired, and the viscosity expression tends to be delayed.

キレート剤が水溶性クエン酸塩の場合、キサンタンガム100質量部に対して、カルシウム換算の水溶性カルシウムをX質量部、クエン酸換算の水溶性クエン酸塩をY質量部とすると、XとYとは、下記式(1)及び(2)を同時に満たすことが好ましい。

<Test 3>
(the purpose)
This test was carried out for the purpose of showing that an appropriate storage elastic modulus and loss tangent cannot be obtained even when the viscosity can be adjusted without adding a calcium salt.
(Test method)
A granulated product of 100 parts by mass of xanthan gum and 233 parts by mass of dextrin was prepared.
4 parts by mass or 4.5 parts by mass of this granulated product was dissolved in 100 parts by mass of deionized water, and the viscosity at 25 ° C. after 1 to 30 minutes was measured using a B-type rotational viscometer (No. 3 rotor, 12 rpm ).
The maximum viscosity when 4 parts by mass of the granulated product is dissolved in 100 parts by mass of deionized water is 4,500 mPa, and the maximum viscosity when 4.5 parts by mass of the granulated product is dissolved in 100 parts by mass of deionized water is 5,510. mPa.
Further, 4 parts by mass or 4.5 parts by mass of this granulated product was dissolved in 100 parts by mass of deionized water, and dynamic viscoelasticity at 25 ° C. and 60 ° C. after 30 minutes was measured. For the measurement, ARES (Advanced Rheometric Expansion System) (TA Instruments Japan) was used. The results are shown in Table 4.

Figure 2006271258
Figure 2006271258

(結果)
上述の試験1に示したように、キサンタンガム100質量部に対するカルシウム量が1.0〜4.2質量部の造粒品の場合、2.5質量部を100質量部の脱イオン水に溶解すれば、5000mPaの粘度が得られる。
これに対して、造粒品全体に対するキサンタンガムの比率を変更することなく、カルシウム塩を添加しないで5000mPa程度の粘度を得ようとすると、4〜4.5質量部の造粒品を100質量部の脱イオン水に溶解する必要があった。すなわち、カルシウム塩を添加する場合と比較して、倍量近いキサンタンガムが必要であり、経済的に劣ることがわかった。
また、表4に示すように、カルシウム塩を添加しない場合、5000mPa程度の粘度であっても、嚥下食として好ましいG´=10〜100Paかつtanδ=0.1〜1の動的粘弾性特性を、測定した周波数帯において全てを満たすことはできなかった。
(result)
As shown in Test 1 above, in the case of a granulated product having a calcium amount of 1.0 to 4.2 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of xanthan gum, if 2.5 parts by mass is dissolved in 100 parts by mass of deionized water, 5000 mPa Viscosity is obtained.
On the other hand, without changing the ratio of xanthan gum to the whole granulated product, and trying to obtain a viscosity of about 5000 mPa without adding a calcium salt, 4 to 4.5 parts by mass of the granulated product is 100 parts by mass. It was necessary to dissolve in deionized water. That is, compared with the case where a calcium salt is added, it was found that xanthan gum that is nearly double the amount is necessary and economically inferior.
In addition, as shown in Table 4, when no calcium salt is added, even when the viscosity is about 5000 mPa, the dynamic viscoelastic characteristics of G ′ = 10 to 100 Pa and tan δ = 0.1 to 1 preferable as a swallowing meal are measured. It was not possible to satisfy all in the selected frequency band.

<Test 5>
(the purpose)
This test was conducted in order to search for the effects of citrate addition.
(Test method)
100 parts by weight of xanthan gum, 8-19 parts by weight of calcium lactate pentahydrate (1.0 to 2.4 parts by weight of calcium with respect to 100 parts by weight of xanthan gum), sodium citrate dihydrate (manufactured by San-Ei Gen FFI Co., Ltd.) ) 2.7-24 parts by mass (amount of citric acid 1.7-15.4 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of xanthan gum), a total of 333 parts by mass of a granulated product comprising dextrin.
On the other hand, for comparison of viscosity expression, a granulated product comprising 100 parts by mass of xanthan gum and 233 parts by mass of dextrin was prepared as a control product.
2.5 parts by mass of the granulated product or the control product was dissolved in 100 parts by mass of green tea (manufactured by Morinaga Milk Industry Co., Ltd., trade name: Yasuragi Chabo), and the viscosity at 25 ° C. after 5 minutes was compared.
Further, 2.5 parts by mass of this granulated product was dissolved in 100 parts by mass of green tea, and after 60 minutes, the absorbance at 720 nm was measured at 25 ° C. The results are shown in Table 6.
In Table 6, numbers indicate absorbance at 720 nm, and x indicates that the viscosity at 25 ° C. after 5 minutes was lower than that of the control product.
Further, 2.5 parts by mass of this granulated product was dissolved in 100 parts by mass of green tea, and the dynamic viscoelasticity at 25 ° C. and 60 ° C. after 30 minutes was measured in the same manner as in Test 2.

(結果)
表6に示すように、クエン酸塩の添加により720nmの吸光度が低くなり、カルシウム塩による白濁の影響を軽減できた。また、クエン酸塩の添加量の多少にかかわらず、周波数0.5〜79.2Rad/Sの総ての範囲にわたって、25℃と60℃の双方でG´=10〜100Paかつtanδ=0.1〜1の条件を満たしていた。
しかしながら、クエン酸塩を添加しすぎると、粘度発現が妨げられ、5分後における粘度が対照品よりも低くなってしまい不適切であった。
キサンタンガム100質量部に対して、カルシウム換算のカルシウムをX質量部、クエン酸換算のクエン酸塩をY質量部とすると、XとYとが以下の式(1)及び(2)を同時に満たすとき、粘度発現を妨げることなく、720nmの吸光度を0.2を越えないものとでき、トロミ剤としての物性に影響を与えずに白濁を防止できることがわかった。
1≦X≦2.1 ・・・(1)
4.7X−1.3≦Y≦13.7 ・・・(2)
(result)
As shown in Table 6, the absorbance at 720 nm was decreased by the addition of citrate, and the influence of white turbidity due to the calcium salt could be reduced. Regardless of the amount of citrate added, G ′ = 10 to 100 Pa and tan δ = 0.1 to both at 25 ° C. and 60 ° C. over the entire frequency range of 0.5 to 79.2 Rad / S. The condition of 1 was satisfied.
However, when citrate was added too much, viscosity development was hindered, and the viscosity after 5 minutes was lower than that of the control product, which was inappropriate.
When 100 parts by mass of xanthan gum is X parts by mass of calcium in terms of calcium and Y parts by mass of citrate in terms of citric acid, X and Y simultaneously satisfy the following equations (1) and (2) It was found that the absorbance at 720 nm can be made not to exceed 0.2 without interfering with the viscosity expression, and white turbidity can be prevented without affecting the physical properties as a trotomy agent.
